  1. At this point it's pointless to expect anything good from normal containers. Enjoy the fact that you get 9000 crystals and some supplies from the weekly containers, while the standard container is just a little bonus reward with a small chance to get something amazing.
  2. Valid So like the rocket launcher in Half Life 2? Sounds cool! The way I see it is that instead of rockets there would be a slow moving projectile, similar to that of Twins. There would be two firing modes. Pressing space once launches the projectile in a straight path, like Striker. Holding space would instantly launch a slower projectile which would then fly towards whichever point you are aiming at. I don't think a Shaft scope would be fitting for this - it would be better to have the tank just stand still and have the crosshair appear without full sniper scope mode. And to make it more interesting, the guided projectile would deal massive damage (like magnum or even more), but it would be possible to shoot at, so any enemy tank could just take out your projectile if you're not careful about how you aim it.

    Private servers

    Not sure what you mean here. If you had an option to literally load an older version of the game onto your server, then obviously it would have all of the old glitches and bugs (not the new ones though). Although if this does get implemented, I highly doubt you'd be able to go back to an older version, and it would definitely be like private battles, meaning that nothing you do there will affect your account (no exp, no battle fund, no purchases, etc.)
  4. True, but from personal experience I still feel like Wasp is one of the weakest and least useful overdrives, in any game mode.
  5. Well, maybe I just haven't been up against many Wasps, but to me the bomb has never been much of a threat, and when using Wasp myself, I don't find the bomb to be very useful. If you treat it as a way to get extra kills, then Viking's OD allows you to get 3-4 extra kills with every activation, so that's around 7 per battle. Getting 7 bomb kills in one battle with Wasp is near impossible, unless a gold drops or something.

    Ideas that will never happen in Tanki

    Drones? In Tanki??? Never gonna happen! iDeA rEJeCteD cLoSEd
  8. Topic merged This is quite obviously a graphical error. As you can see from the post above by Jesse, the issue has been fixed.
  9. Actually, Wasp has been getting buffs not because devs are trying to make everyone use it, but because so far every previous buff wasn't enough to put Wasp's bomb OD on the same level as the other hulls. Even now I'm not sure if it's all that good, considering how easy it is to take cover or drive away from it when the bomb is placed, or just counter-OD it with Hunter, Mammoth or Titan.
  10. Topic merged Sorry, not original enough to justify a separate topic.

    Private servers

    Valid I'm sure I've seen this suggested before. We have a similar idea for hosting servers, but that serves a different purpose. I also know multiple other games which have this as a feature, so the suggestion is definitely realistic and fitting for Tanki.
  12. Topic merged. Multiple people suggested this. Check the first post.
  13. Had a busy week. They will be processed in the next hour or so.
  14. You're right, we misjudged it when processing the idea. Status changed to valid.

    record help

    I take it that the issue has been resolved. If you have any more questions, please use the Q&A topic, or look for an answer on the Help Site. For instance, an article on how to take a screenshot can be found here. Closed.
  16. I feel like Highways is just one of those maps that should have never been added to MM. It's interesting, but it was specifically designed to be a sniper map, and its layout is quite extreme and unique. Other maps have a bit of everything - some hills, some houses, some bridges, some cover, but Highways is like two sides with a bunch camping balconies connected with the Valley of Despair below and Bridges of Death above. It's interesting, but much more fitting for stuff like custom format battles and special events (rank-ups, parades, etc.). Kind of like Monte Carlo or Madness, albeit much less extreme. Highways has undergone something like 3 or 4 edits since it was added to MM, and by now the changes are so great that they might as well make a brand new map with similar features and leave the original Highways as a PRO-only map. But I suppose the current design is decent.
  17. If you want to provide feedback for a recent change, this is the place to do it. We do not allow separate topics to be made with comments/complaints about every little change within one big update. 1. MM maps have to be suitable for all turrets and all hulls, meaning that there can't be too many open spaces (close range turrets would struggle) and there can't be long distances (slow hulls would never get anywhere). Highways was too tall and didn't provide enough cover. Going across the bridge to attack was always suicidal, while driving up and down all the ramps took so long that your supplies run out by the time you get to the enemy base. This is why the height was lowered and more cover was added. 2. True, but the map is still available if you want to organise a private match, or a photoshoot/rank-up, etc. 3. Because players are just casual people, most of whom have zero experience designing maps and gameplay for a game like Tanki. You may think that players know what they want, but the reality is that if players could run the game by popular vote, it would turn into a disaster. This is not just a case for Tanki, but business in general - you can't just let the public make all decisions regarding development. Highways was always a very problematic map that many players complained about. You may not like these changes, but in fact I'm pretty sure the majority will prefer the new version.
  18. Topic merged The map was changed in order to better fit the Matchmaking gameplay. If you prefer older versions, the non-MM version is still available to play via PRO battles.

    Exactly. That's the biggest challenge with that record.
